BRAIN & NEUROLOGICAL

Comprehensive Cognitive Support: Research suggests these ingredients support long-term brain health, with specific studies focused on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s neuro-protection.

Focus & ADHD Management: Formulated with traditional "Medhya Rasayana" herbs like Brahmi and Shankhpushpi to assist with ADHD symptoms, mental clarity, and information retention.

Stress & Anxiety Defense: Includes powerful adaptogens like Ashwagandha to modulate the stress response, aid in anxiety management, and promote a balanced, healthy mood.

Neuro-Inflammation Control: Targets brain inflammation and oxidative stress at the cellular level to help maintain neurological integrity as the body ages.

Memory & Sleep Quality: Synergistic herbs work to enhance memory recall and improve sleep quality, addressing the root causes of insomnia and mental fatigue.

Systemic Vitality: Beyond the brain, this formula provides cross-functional support for Healthy Blood Pressure, Liver Function, and Menopause relief.

Neurological Resilience: Contains specialized botanical compounds traditionally studied for their role in managing Epilepsy and protecting against age-related cognitive decline (Anti-Aging).

• Shilajit: A mineral-rich resin that acts as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It is used to improve cognitive function and support cellular energy and recovery.
• Brahmi (Bacopa Monnieri): Known as a premier "brain tonic." It supports memory, information retention, and dendritic growth (nerve cell branching), which is essential for learning and neuro-regeneration.
• Schisandra: An adaptogenic berry used to protect brain cells from inflammation. It is studied for its neuroprotective effects against degenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
• Mucuna Pruriens: A natural source of L-Dopa, which helps balance dopamine and serotonin levels. It is used for neurological disorders and to improve mood and sleep quality.
• Ashwagandha: A powerful adaptogen that lowers cortisol and reduces systemic inflammation. It helps repair brain cell damage and reduces the physical effects of stress on the body.
• Damiana Leaf: Acts as a nervous system restorative. It is used to relieve nervous tension and improve mental stamina.
• Jatamansi: Specifically used to calm the brain and manage memory loss. It is a neuroprotective agent often used for epilepsy and insomnia.
• Shankhpushpi: A brain stimulator that promotes focus and concentration. It is widely recognized for its anti-anxiety and memory-enhancing properties.

Formulation Synergy

This blend is designed to work alongside your 50/50 Salmon & Camelina oil. While the oils provide the structural building blocks (the fats and lipids) for the nerves and spine, these herbal extracts provide the chemical signaling support and antioxidant protection to help the brain and nervous system function at an optimal level.

Part of the HDFrenchies Family of Brands

Most herbal extracts on the market are simple tinctures—herbs soaked in oil, alcohol, or water, then strained. This results in a 'watered-down' product, often labeled with ratios like 1:4. It’s essentially just a strong cup of tea.

My process is different. To create our High-Potency Resin, I use a precision-based extraction method designed for maximum potency. By using 200-proof food-grade ethanol as a solvent, I am able to extract the full spectrum of active compounds from freshly ground herbs, roots, and berries.

Using vacuum extraction, I remove the ethanol, leaving behind a pure, concentrated plant oil. The extract is then finished on a silicone mat to evaporate any remaining residue.

Why Alcohol-Free? I firmly believe alcohol has no place in health remedies. Alcohol can be detrimental to DNA and delicate tissues—especially in dogs. My method ensures that the final remedy is pure, natural, and potent, providing the plant’s full health benefits without the harmful side effects of residual solvents.

Pictured: The finished Resin extract—pure, potent, and alcohol-free.

Directions: Begin with a portion the size of a grain of rice. Dosage may be adjusted based on individual needs. Gradually increase to 1/32 tsp daily, or as preferred. Please use the spoon provided for dosing. Dose is once a day and work dosage up to 1/4 of spatula.
